studies he must master the primary principles

complicated examples. If he to look into

In common with number OF your ''local

attitude" displayed by two of the most
prominent members of our community

they mean business is evident from the
tenor of their respective communications
which are couched in terms of the most
blOOdthirsty kind. Should meeting take
place there will be a catastrophe. Can it
not be ayerted? That's the question that is
now agitating the minds of those OF us who
are averse to being summoned Oh the in

For The Mirror.
Gems of Thought.


The greatest hero is the man who does
his best and sgnally fails. and still is not
embttered by that failure.
One smile for the living is worth dozen
tears for the dead.
When our hearts are faint, then tempta-
ton has its power. Satan knows this we'll,
and always begins his assaults by discollrag-
ing us.
If one makes good resolution and
breaks it, the best thing to do is to make
it again. Repine not over the past. seek
full pardon. ask help, lift up the head, re-
solve once more. and go forward.
Evil is wrought by the want of thought
as well as by want Of heart.
Behavior is the true perpetual revealing
of us. What a man does. tells what he is.
II a man empties his purse into his head.
no one can take it from him. An invest
ment in knowledge, always pays big inter-
est.
Many times the reading of book has
made the fortune of man-has decided his
way of life.
Good thoughts are no better than dreams,
unless they are executed.
Look not mournfully the past-it comes not
back.
Improve the present-it is thine.
Go forth to meet the shadowy future.
With manly heart, and without fear.

Sunday Services.

Services were opened by the choir singing the
anthem Redeemed" The scripture lesson for
the morning was the 2sth chapter of Job. Taking
for his text the Goth verse Of the Sd chapter of
Revelations "BehOld stand at the door and
knock; if any man hear my voice and open the
door will come in to him, and sup with him, and
he with me-" Mr.. Alberts spoke as follows: At the
time that John pronounced these words he was
between ninety aid ninety.Gve years old, and he
had been follower Of Christ for sixty years.
When Jesus first met John the latter was an
humble fisherman concerning himself only with
his nets, and his boats, and ambitious only for a
successful catch. Although he left his nets to
follow Christ still his progress in christianity was
slow. At the end of three years of service for.
and almost daily intercour.e with Christ he could
not comprehend that Christ was in the Father and
the Father in him, but asked Christ ITO show us
the father" so Johns life was grand but grad.

Fielden and Schwab were visited by their
wives in the Joliet prison the day before
Thanksgiving. and the meeting is said to
have been very affecting though not DEM
onstrative. They were each attired in a
suit of citizens clothes for the occasion,
which is custom inaugurated by the pres
ent humane warden. Maj. r. w. Nc
Claughrey. 1t is optional with the convict
at Joliet when called upon by adults wheth-
er he dons the citizens: dress. but when
visited by his children he is compelled to
do so. and the little ones are thus spared
the pain of a remembrance of having seen
their unfortunate parent with the prison
garb upon him. This is certainly very
cOmmendable departure from the old prison
regime. which seemed to have as its sole
object the degradation OF the convict. 1t
is worthy of emulation by all prisons.

The state of Massachusetts, is attempting
an experiment with her criminal classes,
the results of which will be watched with
interest by the other states of the Union.
Her code has been so revised that hence
forth all criminals convicted of a peniten-
tiary offense. no matter of what magnitude,
after having served two terms of not less
than three years each shall be sent up for
not less than twenty-five years, practically
for life. This is probably on the theory
that for a person who has been twice in a
penitentary there is little or no hope of re-
form. 1t is believed that it will act as a
terror to the evil-dspOsed and in many cases
deter them from further crime. Its influ-
ence upon what are believed to be incorrigi-
BILE convicts will be studied by prison re-
formers throughout the country. Eek.

We publish this week the last of the series
of articles on ''Time Sentences" and al
though we do not agree with the writer in
all of his views. yet we must confess that
the subject has been well handled. showing
that he has given the subject much careful
thought. We hardly expect to see all the
reforms advocated incorporated into law,
but we do hope that at least one of his sug-
gestions-the establishment of board of
pardons-will meet with favor by our next
legislature.

LOCAL PICKINGS.

Henry Nickel, private secretary of Dennis

Sawyer house, and d. II. King, Wednesday. and in
company of the latter gentlemen paid the library
and MIRROR Office pleasant visit.
We acknowledge on behalf of the library the
receipt of IL copies of "Mizpah; or. Drifting

memorable occasion.
The postmaster wishes once more to inform
the inmates that they MUST have their letters
ready for mailing at O'Clock Sunday even ng.
There is no good excuse for keeping them back,

cooperation of all the officials of the prison.
Sunday the cell loom was colder than the
tradition al 'old barn. and quite number of the
boys we're obliged to 60 to bed to get warm The
company only had one man to fire up. and as the
day severely cold the steam was condensed
before it reached the prison. This is economy on
the part of the company who contract to heat the
prison. but it is tough on the inmates. From a
remark of one of the officials we do not think it
will occur again.
The library received at the hands of Mr.. V.
c. Seward tire copies of 1T is Never Too Late to
Mend" by Charles Reade, Monday. This is No.
412k spoken of by Mr.. Seward, Thursday, and as
there was only one copy in the library it would
have taken some time for all the boys to get a
.whack'' at it. AS he had created an unusual
demand for this book it was kind of him to make
it possible for us all to read it without waiting
half decade.
Miss Lou NJ. Hopkins accompanied by Mrs.
G. II. Atwood, paid farewell visit to the prison,
Tuesday, prior to her departure for her home in
Michigan. Miss Hopkins has been visiting friends
in this city and Minneapolis the past few months,
and has been a frequent visitor at chapel
services. in which she took a deep interest, as
also in the success of THE MIRROR. Many of
the inmates have reason to remember her with
gratitude.

From the reports OF the wardens of the
three state prisons in New York. it appears
that better results have been attained under
the new system than under the old contract
plan. The state enters the field as manu-
facturer under unfavorable circumstances
owing to the enforced idleness of the convicts
until new industries could be selected. but
the superintendent believes that in short
time the prisons will be made self-support-
ing. During the fiscal year the total de-
ficiency was only $50, 900. although a much
larger one was expected. Pioneer Press
